Willie Mullins' excellent record of improving horses from other yards is well documented nowadays, but that hasn't stopped the layers from pricing up Rockyaboya (17.10) around the 9.0 mark. Formerly with Caroline Hutchinson, Rockyaboya ran a career-est when not beaten far into second by Career Move at Cork and, having not been with his yard long, is open to further improvement. Rainforest Magic is sure to be a warm order as the Dermot Weld juggernaut hurtles along, but he does nothing quickly and looks vulnerable at this trip around here.

Serve Time (18.15) represents a yard that do well at this track and this one-time useful hurdler showed he's no back number when winning a novice chase at Limerick easily on his first start for Paul Gilligan. Still unexposed over fences after just the three starts, Serve Time should improve again given what he was capable of over timber and, with Barry Geraghty in the saddle and conditions to suit, everything looks to be in place for a big run.

The Noel Meade-trained Leroy Parker looks primed for a big run in the mile handicap at 20.00, stepped up in trip for his handicap bow and fitted with first-time blinkers. His three runs in 6f/7f maidens haven't got to the bottom of him and, being from the family of a smart stayer, he's expected to relish the step up to a mile. Fairylike is respected but has her quirks, whilst Along Came Casey is plenty short enough in the betting, even allowing for her connections.
